Beauty’s Most Versatile Staple

A good beauty and skincare routine isn’t just about looking great, it’s about feeling confident and taking care of yourself. Whether you’re locking in moisture, soothing dry skin, or adding a little extra glow, Vaseline Original Healing Jelly is a must-have for your everyday routine. It’s dermatologist-recommended, gentle on skin, and packed with benefits that go beyond basic hydration. 

Vaseline is a tried-and-true beauty staple that has been around for over a century, and for good reason. From skincare to beauty hacks, here are ten simple and effective ways to use Vaseline in your daily routine!

Skincare Essentials

1. Keep Your Skin Hydrated and Smooth

If your skin feels dry or rough, Vaseline can help seal in moisture and protect it from dryness. Apply a thin layer to areas like elbows, knees, and hands to keep your skin soft and healthy all day.

2. Wake Up to Hydrated Lips

Dry, chapped lips? Smooth on some Vaseline before bed to lock in moisture overnight. For extra soft lips, gently exfoliate with a damp washcloth before applying.

3. Take Care of Your Cuticles

Dry cuticles can make your hands look and feel rough. Massage a little Vaseline around your nails to keep them hydrated and prevent cracking. It also helps keep your manicure looking fresh!

4. Try Slugging for Extra Hydration

If your skin needs a serious moisture boost, try slugging. Before bed, apply Vaseline as the last step of your skincare routine to lock in your serums and moisturizers. You’ll wake up with soft, glowing skin.

Beauty Hacks You’ll Want to Try

5. Get a Natural, Healthy Glow

For an easy, dewy look, dab a little Vaseline onto your cheekbones, brow bones, and the bridge of your nose. It gives your skin a fresh, radiant finish without makeup.

6. Tame Your Brows and Condition Your Lashes

If your eyebrows don’t stay in place, apply a small amount of Vaseline to keep them neat and groomed. You can also use it on your lashes before bed to keep them conditioned.

7. Make Your Own Hydrating Lip Gloss

Turn your favorite lipstick into a moisturizing lip gloss by mixing it with a little Vaseline. It adds a soft, glossy finish while keeping your lips smooth and hydrated.

Self-Care and Everyday Fixes

8. Help Your Perfume Last Longer

If your favorite perfume fades too quickly, try applying Vaseline to your pulse points before spraying. It helps hold the fragrance, so it lasts much longer.

9. Prevent Blisters from New Shoes

Breaking in new shoes? Rubbing a little Vaseline on areas where your shoes tend to cause friction can help prevent blisters and discomfort.

10. Soothe Skin After Shaving

Freshly shaved skin can feel dry or irritated. Apply Vaseline to your legs, underarms, or anywhere you shave to keep your skin smooth and comfortable.

From hydration and skincare to beauty and self-care, Vaseline is the simple, everyday essential that can do it all. Whether you’re keeping your skin soft, protecting against dryness, or adding a little glow, Vaseline® makes it easy to look and feel your best.
